Traveling Thoughts - Story

Ive done a lot of driving the past few days & it’s given me time to think about a lot of things & to do some reflecting on what is next.

I am at the end of my career. I have made it known to my leadership that I have submitted my request for retirement. I have shelved the idea of pursuing SGM even after a very good OML this year. My dream of being a CSM in the Enterprise has been placed on the same shelf.

It’s hard to admit, but Big Ranger has given me the signs that it is time. I ignored many of the signs, but this last week provided me with the final map check I needed to see the route I must walk.

My story is not one grandeur. In the grand scheme, I am a nobody. I am just a guy who as a little buck Sergeant years ago got lucky & was given a “yes” at a murder board where I was handed an opportunity to prove how badly I wanted to chase my dream.

Through this platform, I have been able to share pieces of my story. I have shared some of the successes I have found with the overwhelming support of some of best the DoW has within the ranks, for none of the wins were without help…but equally, some of the failures I have survived along the way as well & how those same individuals picked me up.

I have talked of the struggles had after a spinal injury during the training course…the depression & anxiety that swallowed me whole & almost cost me everything…my struggle with acceptance when I was diagnosed with PTSD & the journey to finding peace with those things via the Unit Therapist & Psych Team.

There have been some incredible highs - things I am proud to say I have done.

There have been some very dark lows - things that I look back on & wonder how I survived or how anyone could still want me in their life.

My story is far from perfect - I would argue even with the few wins…when I badge out for the last time & have compiled it all, it will likely be a fantastic road map of what not to do more than a map to success.

I dont know if I will ever be able to tell my whole story…but i hope what i have shared has helped at least one person to never feel like I did at my lowest.

Be an asset, not a liability

Good light will do more for your footage than most gear upgrades ever will.

Learn to see the light first.

Rain wasn’t in the plan. Turns out, it didn’t need to be. 🌧️

Red C8. Wet pavement. City reflections.
Sometimes the best shots happen when conditions aren’t perfect.

Built to stand out…even under grey skies.

Some cars tell a story. Others become one.

Chicago gave us the mood. The storm brought the atmosphere. The rest was about capturing a machine with character in a way that felt cinematic.

This is the kind of content we love creating…where every frame feels like it belongs in a film.

Every great story starts somewhere.

I’m just a photographer who loves turning ordinary moments into something people can remember. The destination is 10K, but the real reward is creating work that connects with people along the way.

If my work has ever made you stop scrolling, you’re already part of the story. 🤝📸

There comes a point where staying comfortable costs more than starting over.

No title, paycheck, or company should be the thing that defines your future. Every setback is another opportunity to build something that’s actually yours.

If I have to begin again, I will. As many times as it takes. Because I’d rather risk rebuilding than spend my life wondering what could’ve happened if I bet on myself.

Growth has a funny way of moving the finish line.

The things that once felt impossible eventually become your normal, and before you know it, you’re chasing the next goal.

Take a second to look back. Be proud of what you’ve built, grateful for where you are, and excited for what’s still ahead.

Keep going. Your future self is counting on it.

Growth doesn’t happen when everything feels comfortable. It happens when you say yes to the opportunity, take the chance, and trust yourself enough to see where it leads.

The moments that shape your story are usually the ones that felt uncertain at the time. Take the trip. Start the business. Send the message. Create the content. Put yourself out there.

Years from now, you’ll remember the experiences you had…not the excuses that held you back.

What’s one thing you’ve been putting off that you know you need to do?

The final reel might only be 30 seconds, but what you don’t see is the planning, filming, retakes, lighting, audio, and hours spent finding the shots that actually tell the story.

Great content isn’t about luck…it’s about intention. The best videos make the hard work look effortless.

That’s the part most people never see. 🎥

Maybe it’s delusion. Maybe it’s obsession. Maybe it’s the willingness to bet on yourself when no one else does.

Every shoot after a 12-hour shift. Every late night editing. Every message sent. Every opportunity chased. Every setback turned into fuel.

I’m building Unseen Productions because I refuse to accept “can’t” as the final answer.

The goal isn’t to be the loudest. It’s to become undeniable.

If you’ve got a dream that’s keeping you up at night, keep going. The people who change their lives are usually the ones who look a little insane before everyone else finally understands.
